(09/06/2000) He is faithful


Hello prayer warriors, 1. Prayer note: He is faithful I've read many verses in the Bible about us cleaving to the Lord, but there are times when we are so exhausted and in the midst of our trials or our situation, we feel like giving it all up. This is the time when we need to stop relying on our strength to cleave to Him, but to rely on His faithfulness to us to carry us through the storm. [Psalm 36:5] Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. My pastor has been telling us a story about Bill Wilson. Bill Wilson spent part of his life evangelising in the slums and he got himself beaten up and physically abused. At one time, he got too exhausted and one of his eyes was getting blinded from all the abuse and he just packed his bag and told God that he was quitting the ministry. At that very same time, he received a breakthrough. God reached out His hand and healed him. A few weeks ago, I opened my cupboard and found a card by my ex who said he would love me forever. It was never fulfilled. I am not putting all the blame on him but sometimes, we think too that God will not fulfill His Word to us and we give up because we do not believe that God will deliver us. [Numbers 23:19] God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? God has promised us His faithfulness and He has said that His plans for us is for good and not for evil [Jeremiah 29:11-14]. Even when we have exhausted our strength, we know that He will never let us go and we can depend on His faithfulness and press on with His supernatural strength. At times when we cannot carry on anymore, ask God for His supernatural strength. He has promised in His Word that He will carry you. 2. New prayer requests: i. Renew my spirit -- kimbee I do not know where to begin with this prayer request, I have been experiencing an empty place in my soul for a while now. I am a Christian, who believes that Jesus Christ has died for my sins, cleansed & forgiven. There was a time that I was truly on "fire" for the Lord, & felt as though I could conquer all things through Christ who strengthened me. I still believe this, but the fire has faded, I find myself unsure. I have almost no desire to attend church services. The odd thing is nothing tragic has happened between there & here to bring about these changes. I do still go to church because my husband & my kids still go, but I can't seem to concentrate & listen when I am there. I don't have answers, I try to live my life according to God's Word, I do not swear, do not get drunk, do not do drugs & I try and love all that God brings into my path. I feel weary though & I wonder if the Holy Spirit has been working in me or if I have been working in me. I do not know how to separate the two. I do not feel as though I over due the good works deal. I depend on God's sovereign grace to see me through this life on a daily basis, knowing that I am a sinner. My husband is suffering spiritually too & I sometimes wonder if this is what is making me suffer so. He is irritable often, seems unhappy & stressed on life in general. I do not have the answers there either. I guess I am asking for prayer that I would "wake" up to our Lord's hand on my life, that I would have that assurance that He is in control, that he would heal my husband of whatever it is that is causing his spiritual life to be dead & mine as well. I pray that the kids (2) would learn to love the Lord their God with all their hearts, souls, & minds, despite the struggles that I am experiencing. I pray that whoever reads, their prayers would send healing into me & my family's life. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=340&table=prayer ii. A deeper walk with God -- guest My desire is that I walk so close to God that just as Peter did by casting a shadow, I would see healing come to my neighbourhood. So many times I can become distracted & too busy & I know that I must commit even more. So please pray, I desire so much to walk this close walk & I know there is a price to pay. Pray I will be strong & committed to prayer like never before http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=341&table=prayer iii. New baby -- christiandeb Please pray with me for the safe arrival of my daughter's (Kathie) new baby. She has one daughter, but she lost two babies last year. One was still born the other she miscarried. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=342&table=prayer iv. Pray for a brother in Christ -- tampa613 Pray for John. He is a wonderful young man of God. He is a praise & worship leader & the enemy is trying to come against him. He went to the doctor because of some knots & now the doctors are saying that word "cancer". Our church is believing & standing on the Word of God [Isaiah] "By His Stripes We Are Healed" PTL!! So far the reports have been good, but his white blood cell count is down. Pray for God's peace & joy for him & his girlfriend Katie. They just recently started attending Lee College in Tennesee, so all their friends & family are up here. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=343&table=prayer 3. Prayer update: i. Update on Pam's father -- godprayser The latest news is that Pam's dad is doing fine. He got out of the operation & the success of the operation has yet to be determined until the operation wounds heal, but every now & then he goes for a check-up to insure the healing procedure of the wounds. PTL for His mercy & His grace for guiding the doctors & for comforting the family. Thanks for praying & trusting the results to our gracious Almighty Father... 4.
